Updated R-G form chart: Arkansas 82, Oregon 81

The fourth-ranked Duck men got off to a fast start in their dual meet against No. 2 Arkansas at the Oregon Relays at Hayward Field on Friday.

As expected, they swept the hammer for a 9-0 lead, but Parker Stinson and Matthew Melancon went 1-2 in the 5,000 for a two-point swing in the Ducks' favor to give Oregon a 17-1 edge heading into today's action

With that adjustment, the R-G form chart now projects an 82-81 win for Arkansas.

Remember … form charts are made to be broken.
